After that he raises some good points.
You know the flag I fly, new players, new energy, new consumers of SS and in-game trade.
In ASC, especially we have no reason to fear some punk with his mothers credit card upsetting the whole apple cart.
APP -> LF protects us from the commercial realities of main. They could buy billions of trillions of NAQ, ascend powerfully a few times a day, having worked out the system well enough to do it. If someone wants to spend a few thousand dollars to play with the big dogs? why stop them?
My concern is, what are the reasonable barriers to being able to play. How many dollars, how many hours, how many years?
The imaginary punk above would still get beaten **Filtered**, unless he found a way of buying undecendable straight off.
Even then?
Said Imaginary punk would be waiting literally years to get his return in LF from his APP, if he ascended with a very beefed up main.
That is the only barrier as it is currently the only way $$ are apart of ascended (with the exception of p2p trades). I don't really see the need to cap it, if someone wants to spend a stack of mullah in main to - very slowly- appease his ascended being then he may.
100 trill per 10 bill equates to about 5 months to receive it all, what you gain is independent of how much APP you have, ergo ascending with more doesn't get you anywhere faster.
Even with 20 odd bill planets you gain 100 trill about a week or two faster.
